Au Domino, Sainte-Mère-Eglise
In the quite village of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, Normandy, France.
As depicted in the 1962 film The Longest Day, there was fierce fighting here as the D-day invasion of Normandy began and American parachutists started to land and were challenged by German occupying forces. One of the Americans, John Steele, famously got his parachute caught on the church tower and hung there in that exposed position for two hours while the battle raged below.
